I thought this was going to be ecards for "Save the Date".  Boy was I wrong.

I guess it's better than a person feeling too embarrassed or ashamed to notify people in person or by phone, and people never knowing and spreading it around.

I thought it meant "Save the Date" too. haha!

I'm sorry, but if someone thought I needed to get tested for an STD, that is NOT the way I want to be notified.  What happend to a good old fashioned phone call?

I know!  Apparently the problem is people don't want to call, so they don't let them know at all, which is jacked up.

Yeah that's true.  I guess some people do think it's easier this way.  But I just think it's impersonal.  Of course, fortunately, I've never been in that situation so I guess I shouldn't judge, but that's just how I feel about it.

Ha! Talk about impersonal! I guess my thing is... if you knew them well enough to sleep with them you know them well enough to pick up the phone.

oh dear god.  I really don't want to find this funny, but I can just see someone getting a card in the mail with puppies and rainbows on it saying something like "I Just Wanted To Say..."

and then you open it "I Have Herpes And You Might Too".

so very, very wrong.

One would hope!  lol... sadly, probably not always the case.

Wow that's a great way to tell someone you have an STD! How weird
